MAKE-UP! I know majority of the girls would say... "I can't leave the house without make-up on (heavy or light)." May it be just a quick glide of lip gloss or simply curling of the lashes. Girls definitely list Make-up on their must-haves and must-do for the day.
I for once is a make-up lover, it started when I joined beauty pageants, which is at 6th grade. Since then I learned how to put on make-up (
I usually do the heavy type),
was even a hoarder. I really meant
WAS, coz for now, I toned down a little. Why? My love doesn't like too much make-up on me, he even likes it better if I don't wear any make-up at all, but it's hard to just cut the habit I've been used to since my puberty stage lol.
So I had to practice on putting make-up that isn't too much nor too little. Not too bare but something that looks natural. And so I did figure out how to, and I wanna share it along with my outdoor beauty essentials which I'm sticking to for like forever :)
INSIDE MY KIKAY KIT
Unlike other women who put on concealer first, my first step is putting on eyebrow mascara.
(My personal rationale: I'm still working on perfecting my brow make-up. Since i'm using a mascara, I always leave a little smudge outside my brows which I later wipe off or clean with eye and BB creams and make my brows more defined.)
 |
I use Etude House Color My Brows in Reddish brown, since it's almost the same color with my hair which is Mahogany Brown by the way. |
Next is putting on eye cream. Eye bags and dark circles are among my biggest pet peeves, so i make sure my eyes have the same skin tone, or much better, have a lighter tone than my face to emphasize them more. Then, I start to even out the whole of my face and neck to make it more flawless with my BB cream.

I started to use Garnier Light BB eye roll-on on my 2nd year in College. I stick to it since then. For my BB Cream, I love Skin Food's Apple Cinnamon tea, it smells really good and has SPF 36. |
My third step is putting on mascara and curling my lashes. Yup, it came before putting on foundation. Same rationale on why I put on brow mascara before concealer. If I leave a little smudge on my eyelids I could wipe it off with my foundation. Well that's my style, leave it haha.
 |
Maybelline's The Hyper Curl Volum' Express is my top pick since I wasn't blessed with long thick lashes (boohoo!). That curlash has been with me for two years now, it's from Nichido. |
Then foundation for a cleaner finish.
 |
MAC will be my forever favorite brand for foundation. This shade is C4. |
Finally, a little blush and smudge of lip tint then...
 |
I use Maybelline Pure Blush Mineral for my cheeks and Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color for my lips. Both in the shade of Peach, which I think is the most natural color you could give to your cheeks and lips. |
VOILA! Au Naturel :)
Hope this so-so make-up tutorial could be a little help to those who wanna achieve a naked but with make-up look. Toodles, xo
